Skeletal stem cells (SSCs) are essential for bone development, homeostasis, and repair. Recent studies have identified distinct SSC populations in long bones, craniofacial bones, and spine. Techniques ...

Scientists have identified a protein that blocks the activity of bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) by stopping them from maturing during the journey to sites of bone formation. Endothelial cell's job ...

Osteoporosis is commonly associated with older adults, but did you know that children can also develop this bone disease? The condition weakens bones, reduces bone density, and increases the risk of ...

Bone health is an important part of healthy ageing, yet conditions that weaken bones can develop without obvious warning signs. Osteoporosis is one such condition. It reduces bone strength and ...

A new bone marrow imaging technique could change treatment for cancer, autoimmune disease and musculoskeletal disorders. Indiana University School of Medicine scientists have developed a powerful new ...

The "forever chemicals" known as PFAS are increasingly known to potentially pose many threats, the latest of which may be child bone health, according to a new study. Perfluoroalkyl and ...

Endochondral bone development is the principal mechanism by which the vertebrate skeleton forms, involving the replacement of a transient cartilage template with mineralised bone. Mesenchymal cells ...

WNT proteins have been recognized as key regulators of skeletal health. However, developing WNT-associated bone anabolic agents is clinically challenging and expensive. Here we identify the ...

Bone regeneration is a complex process, and existing methods to aid regeneration including transplants and growth factor transmissions face limitations such as the high cost. But recently, a ...
